Over the course of a lifetime, everyone needs help. Seeking help is often difficult because of the unrealistic cultural expectation for self-reliance. It is strength, not weakness, that allows one to seek help in times of confusion or distress.

I work with adults, adolescents, and families using evidence-based treatments that provide a safe non-judgmental therapeutic experience, and a focus on increasing access to the resources that help you enjoy your life.

Being human and existing in this world is a highly complex experience. We have overwhelming and contradicting emotions. We have painful and confusing experiences. We have challenging decisions to make, and we grieve various types of death and loss throughout our lifespan. It is for this reason I believe effective therapy is eclectic, employing humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic approaches.
